‘Saat Phere' Mandatory In Hindu Marriage, Rules Allahabad Court: Know Meaning Of 7 Pheras (Auspicious Rounds)
Recently, the Allahabad High Court has ruled that a Hindu marriage is not valid without the 'saptapadi' ceremony or saat phere and quashed the proceedings of a complaint case where a husband accused his estranged wife of solemnizing her second marriage without obtaining a divorce.
